2010 Prizes
1st, 2nd, and 3rd Prize for each of the seven media categories (with a Highly Commended option for each category as well);
Major Prizes:
Best of Show
Peg Minty Prize for Landscape
Best Portrait and Figure
Best Wildlife: Fauna and Flora
There are, in addition, prizes for the Molonglo Catchment exhibition (details will appear on the Molonglo Exhibition Page shortly), which is judged separately.
Presentation of Prizes for both the 2010 Spring Exhibition and Molonglo Catchment Prizes will be held during the opening of the exhibition on 1 October 2010.
Each of the four major prizes for the Spring Exhibition will be awarded across all seven media, and if you enter any painting it is potentially and automatically eligible for any of these major prizes, which apart for Best of Show, would have to fit the other three themes/genres decided upon for 2010. For instance an oil painting of a figure would be eligible this year for Best Portrait and Figure (and for Best of Show). We anticipate that the Peg Minty Prize will become a permanent prize offering like Best of Show, but each year we will decide which themes/genres will also receive prizes. We have a provisional list of these, including the above, and Abstract and Contemporary, Still Life, and Minia-tures. This means the list can be added to or altered with a view to being responsive to member‘s wishes, and to keep the exhibitions dynamic.
For interest, a survey in the UK on the 10 best selling art subjects, media, etc is listed on the Hints and Tips Page.
